Multiobjective Optimization Model for Regime Adjustment in Crude Oil Production

production battery in the oil industry is a set of equipment and facilities used in the initial stages of crude oil processing at an oilfield. At various stages of operation, it may be necessary to restrict or increase its processing capacity, meaning that the gross volume to be received must be adjusted. In remote areas where connectivity and infrastructure may be limited, it is necessary for an operator to approach the well in person to make manual adjustments directly to the pumping system. Proper planning of the well route for adjusting regimes directly impacts the operating costs of the oilfield. In this work in progress, a mixed integer linear programming model for this problem is proposed, by considering the production, operation, and modification restrictions of the pumping regime of each well. Preliminary results are presented, which show that the model can be used in practice.
